Chapter 249: The Storm is Coming
Zhuang Churan walked out of King Ren's study, looked at Xia Lanhao at Qu Shi, and asked, "Why didn't the prince reveal his identity as the county lord to him?" ”
Xia Lanhao took a sip of tea and found that the tea was cold, so he frowned, put it down, and said, "Mr. thinks I should show him now?" ”
Qu Shi pursed his lips and said, "After all, they are already a couple who have made a lifelong covenant with white heads." ”
"yes." Xia Lanhao sighed and said, "It's also a step too late, otherwise, how can he be worthy of Wei'er?" ”
Qu Shi looked at Xia Lanhao when he heard this, thinking in his heart that this person wouldn't have a different idea about Lord Minghui, right?
As if sensing his gaze, Xia Lanhao looked over, and saw that his face was full of doubts and ambiguity, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said: "Where does Mr. want to go, Wei'er is my sister." ”
"Since ancient times, cousins and cousins have not been without a common relationship." Qu Shi touched his nose and said.
"I promised my aunt to protect her, but I broke my promise, for so many years, I let her live as a peasant girl in a foreign land for so many years, and my aunt didn't know how to complain about me if she knew about it." Xia Lanhao looked guilty.
"I don't agree with what Your Highness said." Qu Shi shook his head and said: "Back then, General Wei's incident, no one knew who was behind the trouble, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, it was the crime of killing the head and exterminating the clan, and the other party wanted to defend the family miserably. Therefore, it is not a good thing for the county to settle in another country, and wealth and glory must also be enjoyed by life. ”
Xia Lanhao pursed his lips and said, "What Mr. said is that it should always fall into a better family, so as not to suffer in the countryside and mountains." ”
Qu Shi smiled and said: "Your Highness's words are wrong, even if it falls in the farmer's house, the phoenix is the phoenix, that is, it is covered by the rice grass, she is still a pearl, and when the grass is opened, her light will radiate from it." Minghui County Lord, that's the case, just look at the idea she came up with for the sea case, you know that she is very smart, and she does not dishonor the name of the royal county lord. ”
Xia Lanhao heard a proud expression on his face, and immediately said worriedly: "Will my father believe it?" Wouldn't it be too risky to report it directly? After all, the Wei family was miserable at the beginning, and now it is ......"
"The eldest princess is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, she followed the horse to death, touched the pillar and died, in addition to her deep love for the horse, she inevitably did not mean to shout injustice to the emperor. The eldest princess also had a lot of ideas for the emperor at the beginning, and in terms of affection, it will not be less than your mother, not to mention that they still have the same blood. Qu Shi said lightly: "The emperor cares about affection, so he will put the eldest princess under house arrest, but it's a pity that ......."
Xia Lanhao was silent.
"Although the emperor is annoyed by the death of the eldest princess, he does not hate it, but he knows that he has no regrets in his heart? In recent years, you helped General Wei rehabilitate, and the emperor immediately returned the title of the late General Wei and posthumously sealed it, and gave grace to the Wei family, otherwise do you think that partial branch Wei will be a four-rank official? ”
"Mr. means ......"
"Even the partial branches can be forgiven, the eldest princess and the only concubine of General Wei, will the emperor still kill them all? This is his only niece, and at least part of her blood is with him. Qu Shi smiled lightly: "As for the eldest princess holding a dead baby in her arms, who can be sure, that is the county lord?" The eldest princess didn't say anything, it was just their self-righteousness. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, the eldest princess just can't bear to send an ignorant baby away, then his own niece, does the emperor still care about the crime of bullying the king? ”
Xia Lanhao's eyebrows relaxed when he heard this, and Qu Shi said: "Besides, Yushi Huanggui is unknown to others, who doesn't know, he has been favored by the eldest princess?" If the emperor refuses to welcome the county lord back to the royal palace because of this, I am afraid that Huang Yushi's mouth will not agree to the first one, you can wait, I am afraid that now that the fold has been handed over to the imperial platform, Huang Yushi will die to the end! ”
"In terms of the gentleman's heart, I think Mr. is well versed in the way of the middle." Xia Lanhao really showed a smile, Huang Yushi is a real iron-blooded official, and no one's account is sold, although the emperor also trusts him very much and promotes him to the head of the official.
"So I'm not suitable to be an official, guess the king's heart, and I'll only die faster." Qu Shi sighed.
Xia Lanhao raised his eyebrows and said, "So Mr. wants to cultivate Zhuang Churan?" ”
"He is a good seedling and a good strategist, but he is younger, and after years of training, I believe it will be a great help to His Highness." Qu Shi nodded and said: "Therefore, Your Highness should stop obsessing about his background, since the county lord can choose him, he also believes in his own eyes." ”
The corners of Xia Lanhao's mouth were slightly coldly outlined, and he said, "Then it depends on whether he can refer to Mr.'s intentions, or if he can cherish it." Otherwise, it's not a bad thing to be reconciled, especially his mother, hum! ”
Qu Shi shook his head, picked up the tea, frozen, put it down and didn't drink it, and said, "Your Highness, we should also go out, otherwise, the people outside will be in a hurry!" ”
Xia Lanhao's face flashed with coldness, and said, "I heard that Wang Tongzhi has been moving frequently recently. ”
Qu Shi also showed a cold face, and said: "The more you jump, the easier it is to pull down." ”
Xia Lanhao looked over, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
And as Qu Shi expected, at this time, in the palace in Shangjing, a war of words was also being staged.
"Your Majesty, how can the bloodline of the royal county lord be confused, back then, the county lord of Minghui was a fairy with the eldest princess, how could this mountain girl who came out of nowhere be the county lord?" Zongren Mansion Cheng Yin Zhi knelt on the ground and shouted.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." Wei Wuhou came out to hug his fists.
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
Huang Gui sneered, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the person who painted the portrait is similar to the eldest princess Xiao, how can the county lord be fake?" Who can prove that the baby was the lord of Minghui back then? Your Majesty, this is the only bloodline of the eldest princess and General Wei, if they are still outcast, how can they be at ease? Your Majesty, the eldest princess and General Wei have been wronged for many years, so don't chill the hearts of your subordinates and the people anymore! ”
"The world is so big, there are so many similar people, just based on a portrait to identify her as the lord of Minghui, Huang Yushi is too child's play." Wei Wuhou waved his sleeves and said.
"It's true, but she still carries a token from the emperor, and she has a birthmark as proof, so there should be nothing wrong, right?" Huang Gui snorted coldly and said, "You are doing everything possible to prevent the county lord of Minghui from returning to the dynasty, what is your intention, do you want to kill the eldest princess and the emperor's nieces and nieces?" If you dare to trap the emperor for injustice, what crime should you be guilty of? ”
This is based on Bai An's great crime, everyone knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't mean this, it's just that the status of the county lord of Minghui is noble, and it must not be impersonated by ordinary people, and it is also listening to the royal bloodline." ”
"Your Majesty, yes or no, you can find out if you summon the county lord here." Huang Gui arched his hand.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, if it is really the county lord, it is good to comfort the spirits of the eldest princess and General Wei in the sky."
Emperor Shunjing sat on the dragon chair, listening to everyone's meaning, but in front of him was the heroic woman, and her dying sentence: "Fourth brother, I and the horse will not do anything that is against the fourth brother, this crime, the imperial sister would rather die than admit it." ”
Emperor Shunjing picked up the recital of King Ren, looked at the portrait on the side, and said: "Proposed decree, Xuanchangping County ordered Mrs. Zhuang Qin to go to Beijing to face the saint." ”
"Minister, obey the order."
Huang Gui breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wei Wuhou and them, and snorted.
Qin Ruwei didn't know that a storm that would turn her life upside down was coming, and when she returned to the banquet, she saw that Old Madam Zhuang was talking eagerly with the two ladies, and she lost her initial crampedness and helplessness.
Some people are natural social players, and it seems that Mrs. Zhuang is no exception.
Qin Ruwei walked over with a smile, bowed to the old lady Zhuang, and looked at the two ladies again, also bowing respectfully.
"Oh, you're back, why don't you see the princess?" Mrs. Zhuang looked around and didn't see Princess Ren, so she said.
"The princess has some things to deal with, and I believe she will come over soon." Qin Ruwei held her hand and asked with concern, "Is my mother tired?" Do you want to take a break? ”
Along the way, they didn't rest, and at this banquet again, Mrs. Zhuang was not young anymore, and her face was a little tired, but she said: "Don't get in the way, by the way, this is Mrs. Pan, and this is Mrs. Chen." ”
Mrs. Napan said with a smile: "Today, I see that the princess is very affectionate to Mrs. Zhuang Shao, as if she has known each other for a long time." ”
"Yes, yes, I see, even Mrs. Xu is not as fragrant as you and the princess!" Mrs. Chen also looked at her with a smile.
This is a temptation.
Qin Ruwei smiled faintly and said: "Let the two ladies laugh, how could I recognize my mother early as an ordinary woman?" The princess is just lifting me up. ”
"This lift is not something that ordinary people have, and being able to enter the princess's eyes is also your creation." Mrs. Pan said meaningfully: "I see, you are also a very blessed person. Mrs. Zhuang is also blessed. ”
In front of outsiders, Old Madam Zhuang would not lose Qin Ruwei's face, and when she heard this, she said: "Two ladies, don't praise her, this young man can't hold his breath." According to the old body, the young lady of the two ladies is the person who is blessed, and I don't know if I have kissed him? ”
Qin Ruwei was stunned when she heard this, and looked at the eyes of Mrs. Zhuang, in front of her, two young ladies one tall and one short were standing together and laughing, one was demure and dignified, and the other was lively and clever, and it was very eye-catching to look at.
Qin Ruwei glanced at Old Madam Zhuang with a smile.
"Xu Qin didn't have it, but he also talked about others, Mrs. Chen and I both said that it was better for the two families to change their parents, anyway, they have been close since childhood." Mrs. Pan laughed.
"I'm afraid you won't be willing to do it." Mrs. Chen smiled: "Our family is not as rich as you. ”
"The Chen family is a scholarly family, and our master likes it very much!" Mrs. Pan giggled: "Old lady, do you say it?" ”
When Mrs. Zhuang listened, her face stiffened, and she reluctantly said, "Naturally, yes." The look on his face was dark.
Qin Ruwei saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but lower her eyelids, didn't she want to give Zhuang Churan a wife and concubine? How dare she think about it!
